Hiezechielis Prophetæ 7
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Et tu fili hominis, hæc dicit Dominus Deus terræ Israel: Finis venit, venit finis super quattuor plagas terræ.
And thou, son of man, thus hath said the Lord Eternal concerning the land of Israel, There is an end! the end is coming over the four corners of the land.
3 Nunc finis super te, et immittam furorem meum in te: et iudicabo te iuxta vias tuas: et ponam contra te omnes abominationes tuas.
Now cometh the end over thee, and I will let loose my anger against thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and I will lay upon thee all thy abominations.
4 Et non parcet oculus meus super te, et non miserebor: sed vias tuas ponam super te, et abominationes tuæ in medio tui erunt: et scietis quia ego Dominus.
And my eye shall not show pity upon thee, and I will not spare thee; for thy own ways will I lay upon thee, and thy abominations shall come in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
5 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Afflictio una, afflictio ecce venit.
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, An evil, a peculiar evil, behold, is coming.
6 finis venit, venit finis, evigilavit adversum te: ecce venit.
An end is coming, there is coming the end: it waketh up against thee; behold, [the evil] cometh.
7 Venit contritio super te, qui habitas in terra: venit tempus, prope est dies occisionis, et non gloriæ montium.
The evil decree is come against thee, O thou inhabitant of the land: the time is come, near is the day of tumult, and not the joyful call on the mountains.
8 Nunc de propinquo effundam iram meam super te, et complebo furorem meum in te: et iudicabo te iuxta vias tuas, et imponam tibi omnia scelera tua:
Now will I in a short time pour out my fury over thee, and I will let out all my anger against thee, and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and I will lay upon thee all thy abominations.
9 Et non parcet oculus meus, nec miserebor, sed vias tuas imponam tibi, et abominationes tuæ in medio tui erunt: et scietis quia ego sum Dominus percutiens.
And my eye shall not show pity, and I will not spare: according to thy ways will I lay [evil] on thee, and thy abominations shall come in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the Lord that smiteth.
10 Ecce dies, ecce venit: egressa est contritio, floruit virga, germinavit superbia:
Behold the day, behold, it is coming; the evil decree is gone forth; the staff hath blossomed, presumption hath budded;
11 Iniquitas surrexit in virga impietatis: non ex eis, et non ex populo, neque ex sonitu eorum: et non erit requies in eis.
The violence is grown up into the staff of wickedness: nothing is left of them, and nothing of their multitude, and nothing of theirs; and there shall be no lamenting for them.
12 Venit tempus, appropinquavit dies: qui emit, non lætetur: et qui vendit, non lugeat: quia ira super omnem populum eius.
The time is coming, the day occurreth; let the buyer not rejoice, and let the seller not mourn; for wrath is against all her multitude.
13 Quia qui vendit, ad id, quod vendidit, non revertetur, et adhuc in viventibus vita eorum. visio enim ad omnem multitudinem eius non regredietur: et vir in iniquitate vitæ suæ non confortabitur.
For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although their soul were yet alive; for the vision is against all her multitude; no one shall return; but the soul of every one is fastened to his iniquity, they do not strengthen themselves [to repent].
14 Canite tuba, præparentur omnes, et non est qui vadat ad prælium: ira enim mea super universum populum eius.
They have blown the cornet, every one maketh himself ready; but no one goeth to the battle; for my wrath is against all her multitude.
15 Gladium foris: et pestis, et fames intrinsecus: qui in agro est, gladio morietur: et qui in civitate, pestilentia, et fame devorabuntur.
The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine are within: he that is in the field shall die by the sword; and he that is in the city, him shall famine and pestilence devour.
16 Et salvabuntur qui fugerint ex eis: et erunt in montibus quasi columbæ convallium omnes trepidi, unusquisque in iniquitate sua.
But they that escape of them shall escape, and they shall be on the mountains like the doves of the valleys, all of which are moaning, every one in his iniquity.
17 Omnes manus dissolventur, et omnia genua fluent aquis.
All hands become feeble, and all knees go into water.
18 Et accingent se ciliciis, et operiet eos formido, et in omni facie confusio, et in universis capitibus eorum calvitium.
And people gird themselves with sackcloth, and shuddering covereth them: and upon all faces there is shame, and upon all their heads there is baldness.
19 Argentum eorum foras proiicietur, et aurum eorum in sterquilinium erit. Argentum eorum, et aurum eorum non valebit liberare eos in die furoris Domini. Animam suam non saturabunt, et ventres eorum non implebuntur: quia scandalum iniquitatis eorum factum est.
Their silver shall they cast into the streets, and their gold shall be as though it were unclean: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them on the day of the wrath of the Lord; they shall not satisfy their souls, and not fill their bowels; because it was the stumbling-block for their iniquity.
20 Et ornamentum monilium suorum in superbiam posuerunt, et imagines abominationum suarum, et simulachrorum fecerunt ex eo: propter hoc dedi eis illud in immunditiam:
And as for the beauty of his ornament, which he had instituted for [their] pride: even therein did they make the images of their abominations, their detestable things; therefore have I rendered it unclean for them.
21 et dabo illud in manus alienorum ad diripiendum, et impiis terræ in prædam, et contaminabunt illud.
And I will give it up into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil: and they shall pollute it.
22 Et avertam faciem meam ab eis, et violabunt arcanum meum: et introibunt in illud emissarii, et contaminabunt illud.
And I will turn away my face from them, and they shall pollute my place where I dwelt in secret; and therein shall barbarians enter and pollute it.
23 Fac conclusionem: quoniam terra plena est iudicio sanguinum, et civitas plena iniquitate.
Make chains; for the land is full of blood-guiltiness, and the city is full of violence.
24 Et adducam pessimos de Gentibus, et possidebunt domos eorum. et quiescere faciam superbiam potentium, et possidebunt sanctuaria eorum.
Therefore will I bring the worst of nations, and they shall take possession of their houses: I will also cause the pride of the mighty to cease; and their holy places shall be polluted.
25 Angustia superveniente, requirent pacem, et non erit.
Destruction cometh: and they will seek peace, but there shall be none.
26 Conturbatio super conturbationem veniet, et auditus super auditum: et quærent visionem de propheta, et lex peribit a sacerdote, et consilium a senioribus.
Mishap shall come upon mishap, and report shall be spread upon report: and then will they seek a vision from the prophet; but the law shall be lost from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.
27 Rex lugebit, et princeps induetur mœrore, et manus populi terræ conturbabuntur. Secundum viam eorum faciam eis, et secundum iudicia eorum iudicabo eos: et scient quia ego Dominus.
The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with distress, and the hands of the people of the land shall be powerless: after their way will I do unto them, and according to their own manners will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
